4. Jeff Holland, Auburn

Jeff Holland is another player categorized as an edge defender and has a very similar prospect grade from NFL.Com at 5.63.

Pro Football Focus isn’t nearly as high on him, ranking him as their 21st edge defender which is also dead last. They have major concerns about his lack of size despite the production he had at Auburn where he racked up 9.5 sacks at Auburn last year.

At 6-foot-2, 249 pounds, he has some muscle development to do at the next level, but should be able to come in during certain sub packages and make an impact getting after the quarterback.

He’s a little further down on the list than Nwosu, projected to go in rounds 4-5. If he’s still on the board with the Packers’ 5th round pick and they haven’t addressed their pass rush, he’d be an okay guy to select. However, they’d .certainly be wise not to rely too heavily on Holland given all of the concerns surrounding his game.
